Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has given a call to the party cadres, people's organisations and other parties to observe "black day" on Friday, when the interim Union Budget will be presented in Parliament, to register their protest against what he described as “gross injustice done to the State by the Centre” by not granting the promised special category status and not implementing the provisions of the AP Re-organisation Act, 2014.
He said the party cadres and others should wear black badges and register their protests in a peaceful manner and there should not be any violence which would only mar the image of the State and hamper its progress.
He said certain parties in the State like YSR Congress were “hand in glove with the BJP" and working against the interests of the State and "their designs should be defeated."
The state unit of BJP is also getting ready to fight the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and counter what it describes as "the malicious propaganda of the Chief Minister and the TDP" against the BJP and the Centre.
The party is going on the offensive next month, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address two public meetings.The first will take place at Guntur on February 10 and the second at Visakhapatnam on February 16. BJP president Amit Shah will also address meetings at Vizianagaram on February 4, Ongole on February 26 andRajahmundry on February 21.
"We will expose the Chief Minister," said party state president K. Lakshminarayana.
